(Proudly cross-posted at Clintonistas for Obama)
Is it just me, or is there something truly special about the Fourth of July holiday? I know, I know, it should be special to all of us because it's when we celebrate what our nation is about. I guess I'm just blessed that I'm able to see and experience this holiday in a special way.
It's fast becoming a tradition for me to march with my local Democratic Party in the world-famous Huntington Beach Fourth of July Parade. And when I march with my fellow Democrats in the parade, I notice something amazing. I also noticed this afterwards, when I was working with local Barack Obama volunteers on voter registration.
You know what it is? I'll tell you after the flip... Read More »
I've been looking at a bunch of Data for the election and I have found something interesting. It is my theory that Obama should be the rightful winner of Indiana and California. In California Obama won at the polls but due to early voting (when Clinton was way ahead) he lost the state. In Indiana Republicans causing mischief caused Obama to Loose. the GOP was 10% of the Voting Population and Clinton won 54-46. Had it not been for them causing mischief not only would the % of GOP in the Voting Pop be smaller, but Obama would have carried it. thus Clinton's 14,000 Vote Margin would have been about a 30,000 Vote Margin For Obama had the GOP not interfered. I Find this Interesting but pointless by now.
I just ran the BarackObam.com ad on a local website. Can you do the same in your area to help make it easy for all voters to get to know Barack. ? Please pass on this challenge to others. Thanks Wayne

Hello All,
I challenge all to do as I have done to provide voters with easy access to BarackObama.com I have run the simple ad BarackObama.com in my hometown paper as well as other surrounding communities to get this started. This simple ad will make it easy for people to get to know Barack. It will reach many people and make it easy for those who otherwise may not visit his website.
Just imagine if every small town paper in every state had this ad BarackObama.com how many people we could reach. Howe many new supporters will join and how many new supporters will donate.
The papers I ran ads from July 3 to Oct 30 are the Goffstown News, Bedford Bulletin,Bow Times, Hooksett Banner and Salem Observer. All these communities voted republican in 2004, "Its Time for a Change" and we the people can be part of this change. We can do this if we all join in. Lets start this in NH and spread the word across the country so all will have easy access to get to know Barack Obama and help elect him as our next president.
Those who want to help, please start to blog on this or run a simple ad BarackObama.com to move this idea forward.
Another idea is to purchase magnetic car signs from your local printer or from an online store in the size of a bumper sticker with BarackObama.com. Pass them out at the supermarket or post office. Put a bunch on your car with a sign free take one. When you do groceries and come back to your car some will have been taken by new supporters. People love these things.That way it will be like having moving billboards throughout your area.
Please email this blog to others. Thank You, Wayne

Why is it that the rest of the world is able to understand the amazing public service that government run transit represents! As gas prices rise it is the only thing that is going to keep people connected and this nation running smoothly. I know that I have already invested some time into learning more bus and train routes and I am sure I am not the only one. That's why it pisses me off so much when I hear California wants to slash funding for public transit to pay for all the budget gaps. Read More »

America’s Vote And The Constitution 2008 All men are endowed with unalienable rights…….. The most important document in US history will one day be totally fore-filled as predicted by prophecy. The Constitution says all citizens have the right to the pursuit of liberty etc. America politically is starving for change, we must be careful what we write on documents and what we wish for because, we will get what we asked for. God said, my words will not return to me void. Past and present history reminds us of the importance of our vote. History should never be forgotten or over-looked. We remember June 6 and the contribution of the warrior lion Robert Kennedy and pray for the strength and recovery of the ailing present warrior lion Ted Kennedy. Changing the rules is not an option once agreed upon for seating delegate parties, especially when fair play did not result in the expected primary results. The world is watching as well as the middle east. Do we truly pratice what we preach, democracy for all? I pray for unity of the party and our country.

Will Jefferson County Alabama default?
If so, it would be larger than the Orange County, California default. In a telephone conference call, SCA owner of XLCA said:

If so, it would be larger than the Orange County, California default. In a telephone conference call, SCA owner of XLCA said:
The current forebearance period ends [tomorrow, Thursday] May 15 and we are discussing with the banks extending this forebearance period.
In Context:
Let me now turn to an update on our exposure to Jefferson County, Alabama. We have insured $809 million, net of reinsurance, of sewer revenue debt issued by Jefferson County. I gave a brief update on our Jefferson County exposure last earnings call. The county’s problem came to our attention in February due to failed auctions on its auction-rate securities and remarketing funds at variable rate demand obligations as a result of insured downgrade and the county’s failure to raise sewer rates to meet its rate covenant.
XLCA insured $740 million of bank bonds, which are payable in quarterly installments, or roughly $50 million with interest each quarter. We have not made any payments on the bank bonds, as the banks have foreborn on payment while Jefferson County’s creditors try to work on a resolution with the county. The current forebearance period ends May 15 and we are discussing with the banks extending this forebearance period. If the banks do not extend we could owe a $47 million payment on June 1, followed by a slightly larger payment due July 1.
We have the liquidity to make these payments but any payment made by the insurers will be a payment default by the county, which the county would like to avoid. The banks, county, and insurers have all put forward debt-refinancing plans so we are encouraged that all parties are working together.

The New York Times reported yesterday that Southern California Edison, "an electric company plans to install a huge patchwork of solar cells, 10 times bigger than any previous installation."

ECO-Republicans are emerging locally despite the petrocrats (Bush, Cheney & McCain) at the top.

The solar panels, covering more than two square miles of rooftops, will be able to produce 250 megawatts of electricity when the sun is shining * * * The largest solar installation in the country is 14 megawatts at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada. The largest in the world, in Spain, is 23 megawattsw. Of the top 10 worldwide, all are in Spain or Germany, except for Nellis.

oh, sorry, oprah!!! thanks for the rally, though.
how california's vote could impact clinton and obama. from today's ny times:
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/05/opinion/05tue3.html?th&emc=th
Feb 4 updated polls
OBAMA LEADS IN THREE STATES WITH HUGE DELEGATE COUNTS: California, Missouri and Georgia (Georgia has more than Florida even) and he is tied in New Jersey
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama opened narrow leads on Hillary Clinton in California and Missouri one day before crucial "Super Tuesday" nominating contests in 24 states, according to a Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby poll released on Monday.
In California, Obama gained two points on Clinton overnight to lead 46 percent to 40 percent, with a margin of error of 3.2 percentage points. Obama wiped out a 1-point Clinton advantage in Missouri to take a 47 percent to 42 percent lead, with a margin of error of 3.4 percentage points.
The two rivals were deadlocked at 43 percent in New Jersey, with 10 percent still undecided. Obama had a 17-point edge in Georgia, aided by a more than 3-to-1 edge among black voters.

The plain and simple truth of the matter is that all throughout this primary John Edwards has been focused on the issues that matter to the American people. All throughout this primary, he has led on the issues with Progressive vision and has brought our other candidates back from the Never Never-land of centrism. Because of this, he has picked up much support from across the country as Democrats realize that they finally have a champion that will fight for their ideals without watering them down. Read More »
So, what about the thought that this is a two-way race, and that Edwards has no chance in NV and SC? What about this that Edwards cannot compete in the Feb. 5 states? Well, in this very unpredictable primary, where one hundred million dollar celebrity candidate has gotten her inevitablility crushed in Iowa, and yet another hundred million dollar celebrity candidate got his inevitability crushed in New Hampshire, Nostradamuses everywhere better watch their predictions according to a new poll out of Nevada.

In 2000 I was one of those women who said Hillary can't win. I have spent many hours trying to figure out why I did not believe in Hillary. I have recently read a book titled "The Case for Hillary Clinton" by Susan Estrich and it has crystallized my thoughts on why Hillary will win! Read it for yourself - some of the ideas that had a big meaning for me follow:
If you can only imagine:
The CNN Anchorman announcing:
For the first time in history, Hillary Rodham Clinton, a woman, has been elected President of the United States of America
What will change:
Would it matter if Hillary Rodham Clinton were President?
Have you ever been the only woman in a meeting at work? Do you think that will change if Hillary is President?
Do you think more women will be placed in positions of power in our government if Hillary is President?
Do you think the world will change for the better if there are more women in power in government and business?
Would it matter that the US Supreme Court justices were appointed by a woman, Hillary Rodham Clinton?
Would it matter that the United States Cabinet were appointed by Hillary Rodham Clinton, a woman?
Did Geraldine Ferraro change what women thought they could accomplish?
Did sexual harassment in the workplace change after Anita Hill accused Clarence Thomas?
Did the fight for the Equal Rights Amendment help change how women were treated?
Did the world benefit?
Did women benefit?
Did you benefit?
Have you ever been told:
You are a cold witch at work? .
You are too soft and need to be more aggressive?
Hillary will be called the "frost queen" - so what?
She will be vilified for standing beside a hound dog of a man. So what?
She will be held up to a different standard than a man for your vote. So what?
She will be held up as a supporter of better health care for all Americans. So what?
She will be held up as a supporter of women's rights. So what?
She will be held up as a supporter of early education and easier access to birth control and a belief that the access will reduce the number of abortions. So what?
She will be held up as a supporter of ending the Iraq war and focusing on terrorism in Afghanistan. So what?
She will be held up as someone who will make the air cleaner. So what?
She will be held up as a supporter of children and public education. So what?
Hillary Rodham Clinton has the brains, the skills, the background, the dedication, the education and yes, she is a woman.
I know of no other woman that could possibly win the Presidential bid - in my lifetime - I want this to happen in my lifetime.
I know of no other person more qualified in this race for the Presidency than Hillary Rodham Clinton and that is why I will vote for her to be the President of the United States of America.
A critical time is approaching - February 5th is a milestone in this campaign. The race for president unfortunately is a race for the money to run the campaign. With money all things become possible.
